I did try to attach some photos but my Internet connection is not strong and so disconnected half way through I will try again another time

hi robert, have taken a look at your system and it looks very good however the system I am describing and indeed using posts small vegetation example root crops peas cabbage and the like on the ground then having shelves about 1.5 meters hi where is another crop of vegetables in pots and so on

there are no negatives on this kind of thing just constructive discussion, remember we learn by our mistakes and it is always good to get a different prospective on an idea.
as to the kind of crops i was thinking of baseically root crops for the ground level and other stuff for the upper levels but as you state it would have to be adapted to the indeviduals requirements,
with your comment about your patio, go for it! remember the only limits are our imagination
thanks for your input

i've read alot about all the ideas about verious ways to manage land to get as much crop out of as little space as possible i.e. SFG but what about adding another level?, by putting a rack unit over the top of the bed i.e.1.5 meters the ground crops will still get enough sunlight to do there thing while on the second level (using pots made out of recycled milk bottles (plastic) or some other container) another shorter crop can be grown therefore doubling up the potential harvist for one area of ground.
any thoughts?.

Do I ever, they are a pain on the ass

Keep looking my friend it seems there are more of us out there than you might think.
